Putting web site text into a live window
What I would like to do is take a number ( the wind strength) off a local website, and put it in an updating window on my PC desktop.
The network has a weather system, that updates about every ten seconds, producing a line like this
Wind North-Easterly, 9 km/hr, temperature 23.2, Pressure 1026mb and falling very slowly
I would like to take the 9, from the 9 km/hr, every ten seconds and display it on my desktop somehow. The line above can be accessed as a website, or saved as a text file to my network directory. But for each of these, I either have to referesh the page continually, or for the file version, go to telnet, and type fetch bcast (bcast is the name of the file)
So is there some way to get a continually updating one?
Thanks for any help
Rob
